Troubleshooting
Problem: Can't connect to the embedded SMI-S Array provider
Cause: SMI-S protocol is not enabled
Solution: Log in to the array as manage and type: set protocol smis enabled
Problem: HTTP Error (Invalid username/password or 401 Unauthorized)
Cause: User preferences are configurable for each user on the storage array.
Solution: Check that the user has access to the smis interface and set the user preferences to support the
smis interface, if necessary. See
Also verify the supplied credentials.
Problem: Unable to connect via HTTP on port 5988
Cause: SMI-S Array provider only supports HTTPS (Secure Socket Layer) communication on port 5989.
Solution: Contact technical support for instructions
Problem: Want to connect securely as user name my_xxxx
Cause: Need to add user
Solution: Log in to the array as manage. Type create user level manage my_xxxuser and then
type set user my_xxxuser interfaces wbi,cli,smis
Problem: Can't discover via SLP
Cause: SLP multicast has limited range (known as hops)
Solution: Move the client closer to the array or set up a SLP DA server or using unicast requests.
Problem: I can't determine if SMI-S is running
Cause: Initial troubleshooting
Solution: Install wbemcli on a Linux system by typing apt-get install wbemcli.
Type wbemcli -nl -t -noverify ein

SMI-S: SNIA's Storage Management Initiative Specification
Recipe: Pseudo-client code added to the SMI-S specification to demonstrate usage of methods and
associations.
Intrinsic Methods: Methods inherited from CIM and present in all classes such as getclass, createinstance,
enumerateinstances and associatorNames.
Extrinsic Methods: Methods which are particular to a specific class.
Block Server Performance subprofile
The implementation of the block server performance subprofile is split into two parts (phase 1 and phase
2). Phase 1 will implement the CIM_XXXStatisticalData classes and their associations. Phase 2 will
implement the GetStatisticsCollection, CreateManifestCollection, AddOrModifyManifest and
RemoveManifest methods.
LUN Masking and Mapping operations
The implementation of the Masking and Mapping subprofile's extrinsic methods allows CIM clients to
create LUNs by mapping volumes to logical ports. The ExposePaths method is fully implemented and
simplifies this operation to 1 step. The CreateStorageHardwareID and DeleteStorageHardwareID methods
all CIM clients to create and remove hosts.
Alert Indications
The implementation of alert indications allow a subscribing CIM client to receive events such as FC cable
connects, Power Supply events, Fan events, Temperature Sensor events and Disk Drive events.
